Interesting wine to end a night at Estella. A lil advanced but balance with wild acid and a long gorgeous finish. Would like to expire this more. — 9 months ago
2021 vintage. The brand name refers to the first 100% Alvarinho vineyard planted by Soalheiro in 1974. Today, it is still made from over 30 years old vines, fermented mainly in stainless steel, with 15% in used oak barrels. White peach and pineapple, intertwined with a distinctive minerality. Crisp and juicy with an exemplary purity of fruit, brilliant acidity and a very long mineral finish. Abv. 12,5%. Terrific value too. Highly recommended. — a year ago

80% Baga with 20% Touriga National blended in. Only made in select vintages. Dark ruby color throughout. Bright and concentrated red fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of red flowers, baking spices, minerals, garrigue and tobacco. Extremely long finish. Beautiful balance even at 18 years of age. Acidity and tannins have harmonized beautifully. Fresh tasting and still quite powerful. I do not understand why the Baga grape has such a poor reputation. Every Quinta de Foz de Arouce wine made from this grape that I have had the pleasure of tasting has been exceptional. — 10 months ago

Portuguese Field blend of Tints Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Rufete. Dark ruby color with a thin garnet rim. Aromas and flavors of black and red bramble berries, baking spices and roasted meat. Quite concentrated and bold. Touch of oak, vanilla and dill on the long and lingering finish. Nicely integrated (soft) tannins and medium-plus acidity. Nice intensity. Thank you for opening this wine, Ron B! — 2 days ago
